Subject: [PATCH] get_maintainer: Exclude MAINTAINERS file(s) from
 --git-fallback and --git-blame

MAINTAINERS files generally have no specific maintainer but are updated
by individuals for subsystems all over the source tree.

Exclude MAINTAINERS file(s) from --git-fallback and --git-blame searches
so the unlucky individuals that update the files the most are not shown.
